Merkabah have been fairly quietly doing their thing for about fifteen years now, with three albums to their credit. The latest one came out in early 2014 and features the incredibly talented vocals of Jacinthe Poulin. She has a really good voice at the mid registers and she has shown hints of being able to really bring a lot of power to her singing. She can also hit the higher notes as well. Ubiquity is a solid enough album but it does suffer a bit from a bit in a couple of areas. First off, the music, despite Jacinthe’s vocals is left a bit uninspired, as if the band is happy to stand behind Jacinthe instead of with her. There is also not enough diversity on the disc to make it really stand out much, giving the whole thing a bit of a sleepy feel. There are little hints that the band could really cut loose and rock out, but they just don’t get there, which is too bad. I think if they let themselves go a bit they would really be able to make something really special, as they say nothing ventured nothing gained.Choice Tracks – Brothers From The Seed Of Cain, Mythomania, Divine Sparks, Circles Of Despair(7)
